Criminal investigation after headquarters damaged

Advertisements

Police are investigating a report of criminal damage at the headquarters of the Alliance Party in Northern Ireland.

The incident is being treated by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) as a “sectarian-motivated hate crime”.

Graffiti was sprayed on a window, door shutters and a fence at the office on Farmley Road in Newtownabbey.

The party has been approached for comment.

The graffiti was reported on Wednesday, but police said it could have happened some days earlier.

Ch Supt Stephen Murray said the PSNI has “launched a pro-active criminal investigation”.

“The Police Service of Northern Ireland remains committed to doing everything we can to ensure our elected representatives and their staff can undertake their work free from harassment, intimidation or any other form of criminality.”

Police appealed for anyone with information or who may have CCTV, dashcam or other video footage to contact them.
